tigervnc desktop sharing with wayland?
by timsoft from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PYCH)
hi all, I can run tigervnc (from extra) on the host (running current) and connect to virtual desktops just fine, but I want to connect to the real physical desktop (for local support on my lan, so I'm not worried about external security).
I can use x0vncserver ~/.vnc/passwd
then connect from another pc running vnc (tightvnc viewer), but I just get a black screen. On the actual controlled pc the mouse dissappears but one gets the impression is is moved by the remote viewer.
I suspect this viewing issue is because I'm running wayland (startkwayland) rather than x11 on the host, but as that is the default for sddm, I suspect that others with have the same problem.
anyone any ideas.?
